Dairy Free Baked Buffalo Wings Recipe

I went to college in the southern tier of New York and had several friends from the Buffalo area. A friend, in particular, shared with me how to make actual Buffalo Wings. She even took me to her hometown to enjoy them. So, I am going to share with you my version of this recipe. One, because I make it dairy-free, and two, because it is so easy to do for a weeknight meal.

The kids and my hubby enjoy it so much that I usually make it in the wintertime, baked in the oven.  It warms up the house and is great to temporarily relieve our stuffy noses. Let's begin.

Keep in mind, if you do not want it to be dairy-free, just add butter to the recipe in the same measurements as the vegan spread. Feel free to add more Red Hot

I really love Buffalo seasoning/sauce on my food! As you can see from my many Buffalo recipes on this blog. One is a meatless Buffalo Mac and Cheese Recipe. Another recipe is The Best Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe (Keto-Friendly). The next one is a Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza that the kids will love.

Dairy Free Baked Buffalo Wings Recipe Ingredients:

2-3 lb wings (cut into two pieces and discard the tip)
4 tablespoon Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread (Vegan Spread)
½ cup Frank's Red Hot
2 tablespoon Rotisserie Chicken seasoning (I used McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning)
Celery and dipping (DF) optional

Dairy Free Baked Buffalo Wings Recipe Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Place uncooked wings in a large bowl or baggie and add seasoning. I use McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning. Toss to coat the wings.

3. Then, Place the wings on a nonstick or nonstick spray cookie sheet (Affiliate Link). I like to add parchment paper (Affiliate Link) to the baking sheet (Affiliate Link) for an easy cleanup. It usually needs two baking sheets.

4. Put the cookie sheets (Affiliate Link) in a preheated oven. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Turn over at the 30-minute mark and add to the oven again. Cook for the remaining time.

5. While in the oven, add Frank's Red Hot and vegan butter spread to a microwavable bowl. Cover with a paper towel and cook in the microwave for 1 - 2 minutes. The paper towel helps to control the mess, so be sure to use it.

6. When the wings are done, add to a large bowl and add the mixed/melted sauce. Mix to coat the wings. 

7. Let sit for 10 minutes or so until you can hold it in your hand. They will be too hot to eat.

8. Enjoy and serve with celery and dip if you wish.

Here's the final picture of the wings. They are so yummy, and I make them every fall and winter, and they never stick around in our home. I also snack on them while watching a football, basketball, or hockey game.
